Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Pares is an experienced and quality sitter and we knew our cat Juniper (and a few plants) was well cared for. We received regular updates and photos which was really nice to have during our travels. While we missed Juniper, we could see that she enjoyed receiving cuddles and attention from Pares. Upon returning home, our flat was clean and tidy, and Juniper was very happy! Thank you for taking care of her!
I feel that Julia is simply the best person and pet sitter I could ask for. They really cared for our cat and gave him lots of attention. She is flexible, upbeat, reliable, considerate and great at communicating. I highly recommend Julia and Chris.
Great pet sitter - took perfect care of our cat and our home. They were super communicate leading up to and during the sit and left our apartment in great shape. I'd absolutely recommend them to any future sitters!
Lindsey was super communicative, friendly, responsible, and an excellent sitter for our two cats. When we returned, our home was clean and our cats relaxed and happy as if we had never left ! She sent us photos and updates every day, as requested, and when a random mishap occurred in the apartment, she let us know right away and was proactive in handling issue. We felt like both our cats and our home were in very caring, capable and respectful hands. Excellent! Thank you Lindsey!
Someone was smiling down on us when Kevin and Mary clicked on our very first House Sitter advert. They are straightforward, pleasant, reliable and fun. They kept in touch about their own plans when their flights were delayed. They tactfully left the house when our own cancelled flights meant we were staying a few hours longer than first planned. They sent just the right amount of photos, videos and texts of our cat while we were away! We all loved that. And on our return, oh my word, the house fairies had been to visit! They somehow managed to walk the perfect line between improving everything, without interfering at all. Clean, tidy, replenished. They asked what food we’d like on our return and boy did they deliver! Home made bean stew :-) and different things for the children. Really kind and generous. Communication was clear and also witty..! They dealt with the churn of small mammals our “somewhat independent” cat brought through the flap without complaint. They are a really nice couple, exuding a lovely American warmth and charm. It was a real pleasure, Kevin and Mary, thank you.
Wow, what a find Justin is! I feel as though I won a lottery. As I was revelling in the communication we were having during his stay, I looked over his profile and realized either that he had updated it during his stay OR I never even read it. I was so impressed with his initial application that described multiple stays taking care of cats in Turkey that I knew he was going to be a great choice. So I'm not sure that I even read his profile or reviews. Turned out...he was more than I could have EVER hoped for. Justin is VERY organized and clear with his communication. Just as--or maybe more--important, he is a poster child for what zeewoi can be: more than just an economical way to get a pet sitter or a place to stay. Justin embraces the barter economy and the opportunity it presents to get to know people. Although we only met the day that I turned the house and my 2 cats over to his care, we had delightful communication throughout his stay. He wanted to be sure he was providing the right care to all living and non-living elements of my home as well as just chat beyond what we'd had an opportunity to cover when we were face to face on the handoff day. Bottom line: I'd have Justin back even if I wasn't going anywhere! I've met a friend. And my neighbors did as well! Oh yes, and my two cats were well looked after, the house was in ship shape, and Justin was able to brief the next sitter in person (I'd had to extend my time away and Justin already had another commitment). To say I felt confident leaving my pets and home in Justin's care is an understatement. Justin is a real adventurer and believer in the power of both human and animal connection. Without a doubt, I would recommend him as a sitter...and a friend! Thank you, Justin for a great example of how to wrestle so much more meaning out of zeewoi.
Ruoyi was the perfect sitter for our cat Toni! We would highly recommend her to any pet owner, and hope she can sit for us again in the future. Ruoyi was very thorough - she made sure there was full alignment on all the specifics of her pet duties, and she asked thoughtful questions regarding details we forgot to include in our guide. She always provided us timely updates at the agreed cadence, and gave us a ton of photos. From the photos, it's clear she got in a lot of play time with Toni, which we really appreciated! :) We were able to enjoy our entire vacation stress-free knowing Toni was in such good hands. Ruoyi left our apartment completely clean and offered to wash linens.
Catherine was a wonderful sitter for our 17 year old cat Zabba. She sent us pictures twice a day and kept us informed about Zabba’s daily activities. We came home to a clean home and would definitely recommend her as a pet/ house sitter. My only concern was that she doesn’t drive and with an older cat, I just prayed that Zabba didn’t need to go to the vet…. And he didn’t 🥰. We will ask her again for sure.
Tracy was an ideal pet sitter when we left for 12 days. She was communicative, friendly, and most importantly took perfect care of our two cats and our house. I would highly recommend her for any sit!
Super nice sitters and extremely flexible. Really enjoyed their company and I only regret that I was too frazzled to chat with them more and get to know them! Kept the house super clean, pets loved them. Dog especially. Had a little problem with my new kitten not meshing well with the older cats (which was not too surprising since cats can be territorial). Pennee was very patient and gave me constant updates and tips. And the older cat was much more calm when I came home. Highly recommend and welcome back anytime!
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $ per visit, $18/week per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
Donna is the best! Great professional service! We just moved to the area and needed a pet sitter for our newly rescued 2 year old cat. Donna and her associate Sarah stopped by a few days before for a complimentary consultation and to meet us and our kitty. It was our first time leaving him for an overnight and we were nervous. However we came home to a very content cat, clean apartment, cute note and a sheet detailing everything. She fed him, played with him, changed his little, snuggled and gave him treats! We'll definitely be using Donna's service's in the future.
I recently moved to the Marlboro area and was looking for a professional pet sitter that we could trust with our two cats for a week-long trip away. I was so thrilled when I found Donna and knew she was exactly what I'd been looking for: someone caring and reliable. She and her team member Sarah came to the house to meet my husband, the cats and I a week before we left, and were generous with their time to see where we keep things, how to use our litter box, etc. Donna provided me with some references, and I spoke with 2 others that had used Donna for years who gave me rave reviews. While we were away, I felt confident that my two fur babies were getting the best care, and we always looked forward to the daily photos that were sent over Whatsapp. One of our cats is very social and enjoyed the attention and playtime, while the other was more comfortable hiding. We came home to two very happy cats and appreciated the nice notes and updates! We absolutely will use Donna and Sarah for future pet sitting needs.
Donna and her team just recently watched my two babies (cats) when I went out of the country. She was reliable, caring, and very professional/responsive. She provided regular updates and photos throughout the days I was away. I came home to two very happy kitties! Will definitely use Donna again for future trips.
I have been using Donna for many years. She is totally reliable and has done a great job dealing with all of my dogs. each of which have had their individual personality quirks. One dog who usually is not happy dealing with non family members, took to her immediately with the result that now the only "problem" is not getting him from jumping on her lap as soon as she sits down!! We have had her take care of as many as three active dogs at a time all of whom are delighted to see her. I highly recommend her for all your dog walking needs!
I've never used a service that comes to your home before and was nervous initially, but won over by all the positive reviews and her connection to the vet office I use. She came with her colleague before the trip to meet me and the kitties, give me references, show me her current certificate with Pet Sitters International, and see where their food, litterboxes, and toys were. They were both very friendly and professional, and Donna was extremely responsive and accommodating the whole time. They sent daily updates and pictures that gave me peace of mind. We will be using them again without hesitation.
We have absolutely loved Donna and Sarah! They are beyond flexible and treat our dog like their own. We are sad to move and have to lose her as a dog walker but would recommend her to anyone. They are reliable and I wouldn't trust my dog with anyone else. Thanks Donna and team! Bailey will miss you like crazy!!
I have used Donna to care for my cat Zoe for several years now. I knew she was special the first day she came over to meet us. Zoe is not usually very friendly with strangers but she came right out and up to Donna immediately. She really has a way with the animals and i trust her 100% with my home and my animals. Thank you Donna for being so reliable, flexible and caring for Zoe.
Can't live without Donna Doolittle's Pet Sitting. Donna has cared for my cats for the past 8 years and has always been reliable through the harshest winters and the hottest summers. She treats my "family" as if they are her own.
Donna Doolittle's Pet Sitting Service is terrific in every way, and the rates are a bargain for the high quality, detailed, loving care provided. I won't trust my companion animals to anyone else!
Donna and her team take excellent care of my fur baby ❤️
Giselle and Tori took amazing care of Charlie while we were away on vacation. We were nervous to leave her, but Giselle was so wonderful with updating us and providing plenty of photos of Charlie through the week. Charlie warmed up to her right away and is always happy to see her. She is always on time and even accommodated a last minute drop in request. Looking forward to more visits. Thank you! 🐾
Giselle is caring and considerate of the needs of our Rottie Dakota. She needs special care and takes time to warm up to people. She always remembers Giselle no matter how much time has gone by. We trust Giselle and Dakota loves her. When we go away or have a day we are not around Giselle shows up and is able to give Dakota the medication she needs and the love and care she deserves. She always takes pictures, gives treats, and leaves a note on how the visit went. We don’t need to worry. We definitely recommend her.
We are very grateful that we met Giselle. When we first met her she made us feel at ease. We have 4 dogs ranging in age from 1.5 years old to 15 years old. We also have a 3 year old pineapple conure who can be quite sassy. One of our dogs was traumatized as a puppy and we have always been cautious who gets to meet him because he is so nervous. Giselle is calm and supportive and has made our nervous guy very comfortable. He is also on a very specific diet due to allergies and she makes sure he only gets safe treats and food. We have a 15 year old puggle that is blind and going deaf. Giselle makes sure that she is always part of the group and not left out. She provides great specialized care to her. She is wonderful with our Rottweiler puppy who can be challenging at times. She always makes sure the rules are followed. This past weekend Giselle witnessed our 5 year old pug having a seizure. She immediately took action to comfort him and contacted us with great detail describing the seizure which was beneficial for us to inform our vet on his visit. Giselle always makes sure she takes the time to interact with our pineapple conure giving him some treats and scratches on the head. She also let's him climb onto her shoulder which he loves. When we made the decision to find a pet sitter we were very nervous. Giselle made us feel at ease right away. When she walked into our home the first time our fur babies were comfortable with her immediately. We especially appreciate the detailed descriptions that she sends us for every visit. She sends pictures of the kids as well a specific details of the visit. She let's us know things like how they were acting, what they played with and what treats they had Giselle did not disappoint she has provided superior care we highly recommend her service.
I highly recommend With Love Pet Care, LLC. I can’t say enough good things about this company. When we got our puppy, I didn’t know where to start with a dog walker. Giselle’s got right back to me and came for a meet and greet. From the start, I felt very comfortable and so did my pup! Benjamin is in great hands with Giselle. Giselle and Kelsey had so much patience with Benjamin and even provided me tips on how to better work with him after a bad experience at the groomer. He goes for a great walk with Giselle and she always plays with him in yard for some extra engagement. When they come he is so excited for his walk. One of the best things about With Love Pet Care, is the amazing communication. After every walk, I get a detailed explanation of how it went along with some adorable pictures. Anyone looking for a Dog Walker reach out to Giselle today.
highly recommend Giselle and her team! they have been extremely helpful with our new pup Lola since we first got her. they always provide great updates and photos from her walk, and do an excellent job of taking care of her when they are with her!
We booked daily at-home visits for our cat and 2 Holland Lop bunnies. Giselle and Kelsea visited us a few weeks prior to the first booking, and asked all the right questions. The Walkies app that they use is great. I can check appointment dates and invoices, track when the sitters begin their visit, and follow the care taken for each of them. We looked forward to the daily pictures Giselle and Kelsea would send! Our cat is extremely shy, and even he came out every day to say hello to them. We've already booked With Love Pet Care again for our next vacation; we know our babies will be in good hands.
Giselle and Kelsea were awesome with our two German Shepherds! They did overnight stays and daily drop in visits and were sure to provide updates and tons of adorable pictures all week. Reya is on medication/a strict diet and Maui is a textbook GSD full of energy so we were so happy for them to be in such good hands while we were away. Thank you With Love Pet Care!
Bruno really loves his daily walks! I'm so happy I found With Love Pet Care, they are reliable and dependable and so great with my boy. I definitely recommend using them, I have used other walkers and they are by far the best!
This was my first time leaving my pups home alone and not boarding them somewhere while my family and I go away on vacation. I am so happy we meet Giselle and decided to leave our boys home. Giselle took such good care of Max and Harvey and always kept me updated on how they were doing. We were able to go away and not worry wither they were ok or not. She always sent pictures and in every photo you can see how happy they were. Thank you Giselle for taking such great care of my dogs. They will definitely being seeing you again.
I can't say enough good things about Giselle! Not only is she always punctual, but she also showers my puppies with love and attention during their walks. They come back home happy and tired, which is a testament to the great care she provides. I get picture updates which makes me feel super comfortable trusting Giselle with my babies. Plus, her thoughtful gesture of giving them treats shows just how much she cares about their well-being. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog walker!
